CAREER ENTRY
Training is centred at two UK universities, University of Salford and University of Strathclyde. Both universities courses are recognised by the Health Professions Council (HPC) which, upon successful completion of the degree, you must register with to work for the NHS.
Prosthetic/Orthotic education is currently a four-year honours degree course, which contains a final year of clinical experience. Although the courses vary, they both consist of three years of academic learning mixed with clinical tuition. The final year involves two six month clinical placements, one orthotic and one prosthetic.
To gain entry onto the honours degrees it is expected you obtain 5 GCSEs (A*-C grade) and three A levels which must include maths and one other physics or biology. Alternative qualifications are accepted, such as BTEC National Diplomas in a minimum of five subjects, including maths and biology at distinction level.
